GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Woke" ideology has infiltrated this school. There is less focus on core needs for learning (e.g., math, science, reading, etc.,) and more focus and resources dedicated to anti-racism, gender theory, and other woke causes. While not as liberal as other schools in the area, its getting worse. The school board is all in on the liberal agenda so not much anyone can do except enroll in private school.

Instead of focusing on academics and reversing the decline, the school board and administrators continue to double...
